I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Paralyzed, the skinny one's face twitched, then peeled off, like a caterpillar trying to crawl through the fence and onto Yingying's body.

Li Yue sensed something was wrong and immediately recalled that during the operation against the Masked Assembly a few days ago, they seemed to have captured two big figures, who must be them.

Two of the seven Great Masks of the Masked Assembly.

Upon initial inspection, Li Yue sensed one was "Gluttony" and the other was "Sloth."

Wait, what else is there in the Seven Deadly Sins?

How many masks are there on the Great Altar?

Li Yue didn't understand, but he knew he couldn't let Yingying continue to be exposed to the two masks, nor could he let them break free from the control of the wax prison.

So Li Yue activated all the eyeballs on his body, firing petrification rays.

Although Li Yue had some interactions with the Masked Assembly, there was basically no room for communication when they met—the Masked Assembly only wanted to put more masks on more people's faces…

Li Yue had no interest in this.

The petrification rays landed on the pile of fat, gradually showing signs of hardening, but it was quickly peeled off; and the peeled dead skin was quickly swallowed by the Gluttony mask, chewed with relish.

As if it were delicious.

The Sloth mask, on the other hand, welcomed the arrival of the petrification rays and quickly hardened into a meat stick, leaving deep marks on the fat.

After a brief delay, the holy light outside became more intense, illuminating the inside like daylight. Li Yue counted down the anchor points being lit, deciding not to stay any longer and quickly leave this damned place…

Then Li Yue became too lazy to walk.

It wasn't that his main body was affected by the Sloth mask, but Li Yue's shadow stopped moving.

This indirectly created a "shadow stitching" effect.

"Yingying?" Li Yue called out to Yingying.

"So sleepy… so tired…" Yingying's response was intermittent. If she continued to be affected by the Sloth mask, she might even lose the ability to write.

Li Yue tried his best to call out to Yingying, only managing to get a faint response, but no action.

"Fortunately, I still have helpers…" Li Yue muttered to himself, looking at the approaching daylight outside and the spreading inertia in the Admonition Hall. His mind extended down the church's steps to the warehouse.

In the church's warehouse, there were nearly a thousand confiscated dominoes piled up.

That's right, these were Li Yue's "helpers."

After realizing that he could easily control the dominoes with his mind, Li Yue applied this feeling to more bones, eyeballs, and tongues. When he was still in Loutown Merchant Guild, he sensed these stockpiles in the church.

The church was focusing on destroying the dominoes, but because there were too many, and purifying the dominoes required a lot of faith and holy light, there were still many that hadn't been purified and were stored here.

He could control one domino, could he control a thousand?

The answer was yes.

Li Yue didn't know why he could do it so easily, but as a pragmatist, Li Yue didn't dwell on the reasons, thinking it was fine as long as he could use it.

So, in the next second, the dominoes in the church's warehouse surged like a sea, smashing through the warehouse door, paving a bone road straight to the Admonition Hall!

Li Yue suddenly felt that this feeling was very familiar.

Li Yue disconnected the connection between each domino and the eyeballs, using the dominoes as armor to cover himself and Yingying on the ground, while the remaining thousand-plus eyeballs rose into the air, spread out in the Admonition Hall.

Petrification rays fired in unison.

This time, the petrification of the Gluttony and Sloth masks was even more thorough. Gluttony was able to fully enjoy the oral pleasure of peeling skin, and it squeezed the Sloth mask even more comfortably.

Because he was too comfortable enjoying this comfort, the Sloth mask seemed too lazy to continue affecting Yingying.

Yingying resumed movement.

Li Yue was also able to escape from the "shadow stitching" state.

"What's going on?" Yingying was very puzzled.

"You have to be careful of the Masked Assembly in the future." Li Yue didn't stay in the Admonition Hall any longer, rolling up the dominoes and sweeping down, rushing into the church's lavatories and foundation.

"Hunteral! Your mission is complete! Let's go!" Li Yue used the thousand-plus Mimic Tongues torn from the dominoes to speak in unison, calling out to the Rank 8 hunter outside the door.

At this moment, Hunteral was facing the church's anger—more than a dozen priests had joined the ranks of encircling and suppressing the hunter, and a sun made of holy light rose in the sky, washing the hunter's soul.

"I can't get away!" Hunteral endured this baptism, hoping that Li would abandon him.

Because only in this way could he properly explain to the priests of the New Church… that he was really forced to sign a soul contract with the demon.

And as a Rank 8 hunter, a very rare hero in this era, Hunteral felt that he was worth the New Church's effort to purify the influence of the soul contract.

And, after spending a night with Li, Hunteral had enough clues to launch a more thorough tracking of him.

This was also very much in the interests of the New Church.

As long as there was a Rank 8 hunter, the New Church would not be chased and beaten by the elusive Shadow Demon, but could quickly complete a hunt with the help of the hunter.

Hunteral thought very clearly, very beautifully.

But in an instant, the scene became not so beautiful.

Li Yue's dominoes and eyeballs stirred up the foundation of the Holy Mine Town Church, the petrification rays and the bone sea moved together, forcibly collapsing the church!

Under the illumination of the holy light sun, the church's walls collapsed, and everything inside was destroyed…

Including the faith source prison in the Admonition Hall.

Under the cover of the collapsed broken walls, a shadow silently tugged at Hunteral's shadow, and in an instant, dragged this thick-skinned hunter into the ground.

As the priests and believers were about to pursue, a lazy mood suddenly permeated the field.

Then came hunger.

A believer bit the priest next to him, teeth breaking through the priest's collarbone.

Even more priests turned their heads, hugging and gnawing on the clockwork warriors and steam machine soldiers dispatched from the town hall, the field filled with the harsh sound of teeth colliding and rubbing against metal.

The holy light further wavered, and the priests who were still awake were powerless to pursue the hunter and the shadow demon, using all their strength and white fluid to stabilize the holy light and control the inertia and gluttony emotions spreading from the ruins.

Li Yue leisurely left, taking away the thousand-plus dominoes, mutated eyes, and Mimic Tongues.

The binding thread was also further supplemented.

There were too many spoils, Li Yue even had to put these extra things into the Shadow Space to make them easier to carry.

The tentacles held Hunteral by the neck.

"You seem very dissatisfied with my command? Is that so?" Li Yue teased Hunteral.

"I have nothing to say, either you kill me…" Hunteral couldn't understand everything that happened in the church, nor could he erase the fact that he did try to break away from Li's control.

"No, no, no, I won't kill you, I still need you to be useful…" Li Yue patted Hunteral's shoulder again.

Hunteral felt that Death was always holding him, not letting him live, and not saying when he would die, and it was difficult to "endure" any more.

"How much material do you have left?" Li Yue knew that the hunter's material was basically equal to his health bar, and needed to know how much was left after the church battle.

"Half." Hunteral couldn't resist Li Yue's inquiry and could only answer honestly—the damage caused by the holy light just now gradually backfired, further dissolving Hunteral's stored materials, and there was not much left.

"Half, huh… that's enough." Li Yue nodded.

"Enough for what?" Hunteral's muscles twitched inexplicably, showing a trace of mutation.

"Enough for us to go to the mine and the arsenal…"

Li Yue dragged Hunteral and swam north from the underground.
